Hypothetically speaking, does the term "community center" preclude it from Constitutional protection and places it into a general business/charity category?
It doesn't matter - the focus would be on whether the government's decision to disallow it (if that happened) was based on it being associated with a particular religion.
I understand this building has passed all zoning laws. The argument made by those who approve it was that it was a religious institution and was protected by the Constitution. But many others in favor of it have tried to minimize the word Mosque and are calling it a community center.

How about "Its my property, and I'll put in what I damned well want to, if I meet with code and zoning laws"

I read it and think the king is showing nothing but disrespect to the 911 families while respecting their killers.
Nevermind that Bush allowed 13 of Osama bin Laden's family members to leave the U.S. on a chartered flight on September 19, 2001 (before air travel restrictions were lifted) and exploted the deaths of thousands of Americans to persue particular items in his administration's agenda.
If you are going to speak about disrespectful behavior towards the victims of 9/11 from the office of the President, you cannot simply point your finger in one direction.
